Medical Billing From Home

William Said:

Does anyone do medical billing from home?

We Answered:

Take a look at how I do my psychic business.

Then see if you can fit something similar around your own expertise. About $300 will get you started.

Then all you need is a passion, some persistence, and you know that old fashioned word - w.o.r.k. http://www.psychic-junkie.com/are-you-ps…

Does anyone else do medical billing work from home?

We Answered:

Medical billing or transcription is also an interesting choice, but you can't make much. There are other forms of work available. But be careful. There are so many online scams are existing in the internet. Even search queries in popular search engines were displaying too many scam sites as top search results. After long time searching for work from home sites, finally I have found a website which helps to make money online for free :

Good luck.

how would you go about proccessing insurance claims or medical billing from home?

We Answered:

At home professions is a home study course that will give you a certificate in medical billing after you pass their course. This is long distance learning set up. After 'graduating' you will have to market yourself to local doctors and explain why they need to switch from their current billing service to you - with no background in this field, who will work from home and possibly, unintentionaly, create billing errors and lose them hundreds if not thousands of dollars because no one is auditing your claims while you learn how to bill in the real world.
You will also need to purchase a medical billing software to keep track of claims and make sure you have no timely filing issues, electronic transmission software or contract with a clearinghouse, as well as current and possiblly 1 year past issues of the ICD9, ICD10, HCPCS, CPT and I recommend a specialist book in the area you will be billing. Subscribe to a newsletter to keep up to date with the changes that happen ($300/year), high speed internet, unlimited calling, and a very comfortable chair because you will be sitting in it a long time.

Oh, Will you be coding the claims also? Need to get certified for coding and keep up with your CEU's to stay eligible for certification.

I admit, I'm angry that medical billing has been portrayed as a quick home project that you can do in your spare time. This is a real job that requires real knowledge and attention to detail. One wrong code and someones insurance denies their claim leading to thousands of dollars in medical expenses for a patient.

My suggestion? Go ahead and take this course if you'd like, get an entry level job at a doctors office or hospital. Learn form people who actually do medical billing then in 5 years, if you think you have what it takes, start your own business and try to work from home. Remember, your dealing with people's livelyhoods (the docs) and lives (patients ability to pay for procedures) this is not something to be taken lightly.

Jose Said:

Is there a lot of opportunity to do medical billing from home?

We Answered:

These companys that want you to buy their programs to do this billing from home want you to think that their are alot of opportunities, but there isn't. The fact is, these medical facilities don't want people to do this in their home but in their facilities. Where people are being tricked is, you LEARN this program at HOME rather than going to a school. You will not be working from home doing this. In a way I believe this should be considered a scam.
